Who (can tell me the truth)? - Poem-anthem for the new generation
Who ?
By Dmitry Gorodnichy
Who can tell me the truth?
Who can show me the way?
Who can bring from the darkness
A ray of hope and brighten my day?
Who can help ease my mind,
Face with a smile ups and downs?
Who can remain calm and kind
Despite heavy storms that are raging around?
Who can I hear the music
That I compose every night?
Who has wisdom and courage
To say what is wrong and to do what is right?
Who?
Maybe it’s you?
Another day’s gone, gone forever.
A beautiful present wrapped in autumn leaves
Was given to me and once again left unopened. -
No one was saved, no one was set free.
I saw in my dreams there is a land far from here
Where people are governed not by money but love.
Who can show me the way how to get there
To this happy land I've been dreaming of?
I'm ready, I know, to start a new journey.
And leave all the comfort and worries behind.
Hey, who is there willing to join me
In search of the answers that are so hard to find?
Who?
Maybe it’s you?
Who could give me a hug?
Who can look straight into my eyes,
Not from the holes in a mask,
Not from the screen of an electronic device?
Who can go with me for a walk
To watch the sunset and the stars shining bright?
Who can hold my hand and allow me to talk
So I can let out everything that is burning inside?
Love is stronger than fear
Trust has more value than gold.
Who has it all and is eager to share ?
Who can think for themselves, not what they’ve been told?
Who?
Maybe it’s you?
Who can speak for the others
Who have no voice anywhere,
Who suffer in silence,
Losing hope, falling into despair?
Who won't allow this to happen?
Who can discern evil from good?
Who will lead by example
Helping the helpless like everyone should?
Who is ready to stand up?
And let the healing begin?
Who will defy propaganda?
Who will open the windows and let the fresh air in?
Who?
Maybe it’s you?
